This study aims to quantify the degree of NtNV in the apnea\u2013hypopnea index (AHI), hypoxic burden, airflow limitation, and OSA endotypes; to determine if a relationship exists between the degree of NtNV in AHI and in endotype expression; to assess whether the degree of flow-limited breathing is predictive of the degree of NtNV of the AHI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seventy-one patients with OSA underwent 2 polysomnograms (PSGs). OSA endotypes, hypoxic burden, and flow limitation frequency were extracted from PSG data. Intraindividual agreement was assessed and associations with the NtNV of the AHI were calculated.

Flow limitation frequency was 7.7% (2.1\u201313, p\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.01) higher on the second night compared to baseline. There were weak linear associations between NtNV of endotypes and NtNV of the AHI.
